Riverfront Tai Chi at Glen Foerd on the Delaware
A series of 10 weekly, one hour classes begins Monday, October 21st at 6:30pm.
Members: $120.00 Non-members: $150.00

This is a continuation of classes intended to build upon each week’s lessons with focus on breathing and relaxation. Some previous experience with Tai Chi is recommended, but not necessary, as this class is a continuation of previous sessions. As you progress through the course you will notice improvements in muscle tone, flexibility, coordination and concentration. You should wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing and sneakers.

The instructor, Frank Shiery, has trained extensively for the past 23 years. He is Chief Instructor for the PA Chen Taijiquan Association. Frank was a member of the 1993 Taiji Team that competed at the First World Taiji Invitational Competition in Fuzho, China where he received the “Award of Excellence.” His book, Chen Style Taijiquan: The Small Frame Method, is available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
